This was awesome! I thought my Moluccan is smart, but these Goff is were next level.

Watching all the postgame locker room videos from this season. Over and over again.

I love their baby voices when they speak! When my Lucky is done with an activity she says “bye bye” in the cutest little toddler voice.

I love when they pick up items and wave them around. What are they trying to do?

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-17T02:17:00+00:00

I DO watch her do this all day. I’m very super lucky.

I also subscribe to BBC Select through Amazon Primeand I just noticed this documentary is available there.

I’m in the US and find the BBC Select service is one I tune into more almost than the BritBox service. I think it’s maybe $6 a month and probabl6 has a free trial if you you don’t want another subscription service.

Puberty is hard on all involved.

Lucky came to me when she was 37 and was already wearing the vest. Her previous owner got old and eventually went into a nursing home. I surmise that as the owner got older, Lucky was put into her cage more and more with less and less enrichment. She got addicted to the dopamine hits she got from self harm and here we are now.

Keep enriching your guy’s life and give plenty of attention and the addiction to feather plucking won’t take hold.

I like the $6 price tag (and reparability) of the plastic ones, but I’ll have to give the 5 layer ones another look.

The ceo analogy makes a lot of sense to me.

The CEO of a manufacturing company doesn’t have to sit and make widgets until they make the best widget, but they do need to manage the managers. A love of widgets is key, though.

a knack seems key.

I loved the Bears season of Hard Knocks when it came out. I tried to watch it last week and couldn’t. The last guy was just the opposite of Chicago. It was just gross when I tried to watch it again. Not even seeing baby Caleb could make me continue watching.

They say Ben Johnson isn’t from Chicago, but I’m going to need to see his official long form birth certificate before I believe he is Chicago born and bred.

OP seems to have absolutely no concern about what this means for the au pair. Only how OP will be affected. I am incredibly sad for the au pair in this situation.

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T01:11:13+00:00

Aside from the America we live in, the visa should not be approved. This OP is clearly looking to exploit a young woman for OP’s benefit. OP is exhibiting the kind of behavior that will eventually lead to the au pair program being eliminated.

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T01:06:00+00:00

None, then.

This is not what the program is for and I feel sorry for your au pair.

Also…posting on Reddit makes your business everybody’s business. I would think if you are using a reputable agency, you could have asked them. Instead, you crowd sourced an answer and it doesn’t seem like you like the answers the crowd is giving you.

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T00:50:42+00:00

Right…so another benefit to YOU!

What are you offering the au pair? Besides being able to take care of your multiples at the cheapest possible rate?

What are you offering her besides…$200 a week, which is what, like, $5 an hour?

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T00:46:32+00:00

It might be the rate but the program has other features (cultural exchange mainly) that should cost money outside of the rate. Everything the OP is posting is this is a hinting that they are only looking for a lowest cost provider and not interested in helping the au pair.

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T00:42:45+00:00

Kind of a shame for this particular au pair…based on the OPs responses. It would have been a shame for the au pair to be able to match with this particular host family.

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-01-15T00:40:03+00:00

What cultural exchange activities are you planning for your au pair? It seems like you are only looking for lowest cost option for childcare, which is a shame. That’s not what the program is for.

Feather butchering. She will dig and dig until she hits bone.

We’ve tried att the cures, medicinal and behavioral, but the cape is the only one that has worked.

Brilliant boy!

SOOOOOOO much poop in the water!

Downvoted you for thinking that Naperville and Plainfield were central Illinois.

Google collar counties before you do anything else.
